About this product
Aptitude Contact Theory Riesling Cortese 2024 is an adventurous Adelaide Hills skin-contact white from Greg Clack, blending Riesling’s floral precision with Cortese’s savoury depth for a bone-dry wine packed with zing, texture and serious table presence. It is brilliantly distinctive, yet refreshingly easy to enjoy.
Lemon zest, elderflower, green apple and pink grapefruit burst forward, layered with peach skin, yellow nectarine and crushed-quartz minerality. The Aptitude Contact Theory Riesling Cortese 2024 then shifts into green tea, ginger blossom, nutty kernel and a gently honeyed note, with fine skin-derived grip broadening the finish.
Serve Aptitude Contact Theory Riesling Cortese 2024 with crisp fried snapper and malt-vinegar drizzle, salt-and-pepper squid, prawn pasta, chicken schnitzel or grilled halloumi. Its racy acidity and savoury phenolic texture thrive alongside fried, salty and richer dishes, making it a cracking choice for adventurous white-wine drinkers.
